1995 S10, 2.2 4cyl, 5 speed. the truck starts first crank, idles fine, takes off normal, runs like crap under the load of normal driving when I get to a steady RPM,and runs fine at WOT. It feels like a fule issue but I dont really know. I have a fuel cell in it with an inline pump and both are like brand new. new fuel filter, new plugs and wires, new muffler. The problem started last summer and after a long break from working on it I decided to try to figure this problem out. I originally thought it was vapor lock cause I didnt have a vent hole in teh fuel cell cap but today I drove it with the cap loose and it didnt help at all. does anyone have any idea what could be my problem? besides the fact its a POS 2.2 4cyl

My dad just had that issue with his toyota and also a fuel regulator "brick" thingy.... :eeek:
I know, thats the shitty part. Cant really take the truck anywhere and the shop in town wants like 170 bucks to put it on a scope.
the TPS is only 30 bucks. I think I'll try that since its cheap and if it doesnt help then I will suck it up and pay to have it scoped.

You can also check the tps with a meeter.
is the TPS adjustable on that one?
if so, it will need set, once u replace it.
how about fuel pressure? have u tested it? having a new pump doesnt really mean anything.
throw a pressure tester on there, and run the gauge under the wiper arm, so u can see it while ur driving..and watch it, as its ****ing up.

I just remembered I sold my old parts S10 to teh neighbor. its a 96 but should have the same TPS on it. I'll borrow his real quick and see if that helps since I know his works fine. if that doesnt work I'll try the find a fuel pressure guage.
thanks for the help guys :awesomework:

well I swapped in my neighbors TPS and that seems to be the problem. I drove it around the neighborhood with no issues until right before my driveway it had a slight cough/sputter like it was doing before but it may have been from the trucking being so bouncy and coming down a slight hill. I'm gonna take it out for a little longer drive next time and see how it goes.
well that wasnt it but I have found out one more detail on teh issue. it only runs like crap after it has warmed up. last time I just fired it up and drove off. this time I let it warm up for a few minutes and took it out and it acted up right away.
